Cousin Henry, in attendance! |
October is packed full of happy fun times for our family! Our first son, Oliver was born 6 years ago. (HOW does time fly so fast!?!?!?) We celebrated that marvelous birth with family and a most important cousin Henry! Henry and Oliver have made a pact to attend each other's birthday parties for life! :) This is a bit of a feat since they do not live near each other!
Being in school now, I wanted to send a special birthday treat that he would remember. I still remember my own Kindergarten birthday cupcakes! I got the idea online for these cute owl cupcakes:
It was fun to figure out which candies to use for the eyes and beaks! I used Oreos and Junior Mints for the eyes, Mike and Ikes for the beaks and piped the ears and feathers on with a chocolate buttercream icing.
So then on his actual birthday cake for his party:
What fun it is to celebrate this precious boy!
“Children are a heritage from the Lord,”
Psalm 127:3
Oliver must have loved to taste this artistic cake along with his friends and family. May the boy keeping smiling this way throughout his life.
